Chapter 4, Problem 4.65CRP
A 2013 Sage North America survey examined the “financial literacy” of small business owners. The study found that 23% of small business owners indicated concern about income tax compliance for their business; 41% of small business owners use accounting software, given that the small business owner indicated concern about income tax compliance for his or her business. Given that a small business owner did not indicate concern about income tax compliance for his or her business, 58% of small business owners use accounting software. (Data extracted from “Sage Financial Capability Survey: What Small Business Owners Don’t Understand Could Be Holding Them Back,” April 17, 2013, http://bit.ly/Z3FAqx.)
- Use Bayes’ theorem to find the
probability that a small business owner uses accounting software, given that the small business owner indicated concern about income tax compliance for his or her business. - Compare the result in (a) to the probability that a small business owner uses accounting software and comment on whether small business owners who are concerned about income tax compliance for their business are generally more likely to use accounting software than small business owners who are not concerned about income tax compliance for their business.

Most engaged couples expect or at least hope that they will have high levels of marital satisfaction. However, because 54% of first marriages end in divorce, social scientists have begun investigating influences on marital satisfaction. (Data Source: National Center for Health Statistics.)
A counseling psychologist sets out to look at the role of having children in relationship longevity. She decides to measure marital satisfaction in a group of couples with children and a group of childless couples. She chooses the Marital Satisfaction Inventory, because it refers to "partner" and "relationship" rather than "spouse" and "marriage," which makes it useful for research with both traditional and nontraditional couples.
Higher scores on the Marital Satisfaction Inventory indicate greater satisfaction. Assume that these scores are normally distributed.
A sample of 39 couples with children scored an average of 51.1 with a sample standard deviation of 9.2 on the Marital Satisfaction…
